President’s Opening Remarks - Annual Meeting.
Who do we have running for office, who might we have, how do we structure going forward? According to Tom, by-laws are unclear as to how many members the board needs to have. Wants to explore ways to make it more efficient, which could mean having less board members.
Secretary’s Report
Vote to accept Secretary’s report from July as is - unanimous.
Treasurer’s report
Big entry fees from the Junior Olympic meets. Stephen is 90% sure we’ll come out ahead on those. A good membership check came in from the youth enrollment from those two meets. Membership is approx. up to 5150. Vote on report tabled until the next meeting.
Masters T&F
